Inside the apartment.

Su Lu hastily finished his dinner, bidding farewell to Mary. After a chat with Margaret and instructing Hallock to guard the house, he returned to his bedroom, softly shutting the door with a touch of excitement in his expression.

“How long has it been… To escape the Dream of the Ancient God in Nia City, I overused the ability of the Evil Spirit Knight card… causing my injuries to persist until now…”

“Due to the damage to my body and soul, I had to hide under a pseudonym, quietly waiting…”

“Finally… I’m fully healed!”

The recovery of the soul was incredibly important for a [Odd Technician].

It meant that he could smoothly use ‘Mind Magic’ without any concerns, hiding in any large city and crafting a flawless identity for himself.

He could even use the Magic Card to recreate the luxurious battle tactics of the ancient [Scroll Master], attaining a tier-three peak strength, that could even rival the fourth tier.

Even if a crisis emerged, there was still the chance to break out with the Evil Spirit Knight card, or directly jump from the Spirit World to save his life!

Of course, other than increasing his combat power, the biggest benefit lay within the Dream Spirit World!

This place, with distorted rules and filled with abstract meanings, was the third layer of the Spirit World where danger and opportunity co-existed!

“Even though I have ordered Hallock, and hinted at Margaret. There won’t be anyone to disturb me, but to be safe….”

Su Lu performed a ritual and sealed off his bedroom.

Then, he lay comfortably on his bed, employing his Soul Trance abilities.

His spirit swiftly transitioned, first breaking into the Illusory Spirit Realm, where surrounding buildings became intangible, then moved into the Mental Realm where all physical entities disappeared, leaving only the mind.

In the end, Su Lu felt his spiritual body break a sturdy barrier and enter the third layer of the Spirit World.

Red, yellow, green… Various intense colors appeared in front of him, so vibrant that it was nauseating.

He looked down through the earth and saw a square ‘Sun’, emitting a green light!

That light shone from below, radiating a beauty akin to the aurora lights.

“Abstract, distorted…”

Su Lu murmured, constantly sensing his body.

In the Dream Spirit World, there was no concept of ‘distance’, making it easy to get lost. If one’s spiritual body got lost, their physical body was either considered dead or mutated.

This was one of the most common dangers in the Dream Spirit World.

“Of course… If it’s a pure soul without a physical body, or a bigshot capable of Spirit World Traversal, or a native creature of the Dream Spirit World, they would not have this worry…”

Su Lu looked towards an abstract object.

‘It’ seemed like a pirate ship that had been squashed into a flat surface, with various mystic symbols on its body.

In the Dream Spirit World, knowledge could be directly converted to power.

This abstract pirate ship was a piece of knowledge!

But Su Lu didn’t approach, as he could sense that although it seemed close, it was, in reality, very far away.

Even if he reached it, he would undoubtedly lose touch with his physical body.

After testing his surroundings, he found his range of movement was very limited.

After some thought, Su Lu walked towards an upside-down forest.

The trees looked like oak, with their tips striking the earth. On their bodies, fine grains formed fragmented weird symbols that made one feel dizzy on sight, like a vortex.

On the branches, several fluffy things jumped out, making a ‘glo-glo’ sound.

“Creatures of the Spirit World?”

Su Lu tried to emit goodwill to communicate with them.

“Glo-glo… glo-glo… glo-glo…”

The fuzzballs continuously made a glo-glo sound. It seemed to be a strange language, conveying meaning via changes in pitch.

What they were expressing now should be delight, right?

Su Lu steadied himself and asked: “I want to know where the creatures with spatial attributes are… or any clues about the [Dream Master]… Can you tell me?”

The Dream Spirit World interacted with reality and held all sorts of pieces of information. It was a source for all symbols and divination.

Theoretically, one could find everything in this place! But it could also make a person lose everything!

“Glo-glo… glo-glo…”

‘Dream making… Delicious… Not delicious…’

“Chuckle…chuckle…”

“Eat…snake…”

The furball hopped around, its train of thought seemed sluggish, struggling to convey a complete meaning.

“I don’t understand… But it feels like a dream… Even if you know you’re dreaming, it’s still hard to hear and remember the words spoken in the dream…”

Su Lu somewhat helplessly prepared to choose to return.

Anyway, he will have many opportunities to deal with the Dream Spirit World in the future and will continue to explore this place.

‘Just not sure if this forest will still be here then. Mmm, I guess it will probably disappear…’

Su Lu turned and prepared to leave.

In the Dream Spirit World, his Inspiration was rapidly consumed. It was more terrifying than in the Mental Realm and lasted even shorter.

And the rules in the Dream Spirit World were twisted, even time maybe so.

This could lead to dire consequences.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted.

The Inspiration he had spread outward drew an image of a tiny snake on a tree trunk.

It appeared like a finger, devoid of scales, its skin was flesh-colored, and it was staring at the furballs with its ‘wide-open mouth’!

It truly was a ‘wide open mouth’!

Su Lu had heard stories about the snake swallowing an elephant, expressing the limit of a snake’s mouth expansion.

But here, the little snake wasn’t swallowing an elephant. It was swallowing the sky!

It opened its mouth wide. A black hole seemed to appear around it, exuding terrifying suction power.

The inverted oak where the furballs were perched was uprooted and plunged into the black hole.

‘Roar!’

Seeing this, the furballs roared in anger. Their bodies underwent a bizarre transformation, swelling rapidly, turning from tiny creatures into entities the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye. Their bodies sprouted three elephant-like trunks, with mysterious symbols etched on their surface.

‘Damn…’

Su Lu quickly retreated, scared out of his wits, ‘The power of these furballs… could it be on par with a fourth level master? Their size and destructive power are even enhanced… Luckily, I don’t harbour any ill-intent.’

But it was of no use!

No matter how much the furballs turned into monsters, their furious roars were unable to stop that finger snake. It was swallowed by the black hole.

Belch!

After the finger snake swallowed the furballs, it seemed to let out a satisfied burp. Its mung-bean-like eyes then turned towards Su Lu.

“I…Damn!”

Su Lu retreated rapidly, starting to run in terror.

Without summoning the Evil Spirit Knight, he seemed incapable of dealing with this little snake!

That was a trump card, not to be used lightly, better to return to where he came from and directly leave the Spirit World!

His speed was fast, yet the finger snake was not slower at all!

Even more so, it opened its mouth wide, staring at Su Lu’s retreating figure.

Boom, boom, boom!

A swirl started to form, its terrifying power honing onto Su Lu.

‘No, I have to summon the Evil Spirit Knight!’

He was about to summon his trump card, but suddenly, he felt his soul shivering.

Bang!

A massive, black iron-colored foot stepped down from the sky, just grazing the area where the finger snake was, and then left without any pause.

A massive footprint was left behind. The forest also vanished without a trace.

‘This is the Spirit World? Terrifying… What was that just now, a formidable being passing by? At least it’s legendary…’

Su Lu looked in the direction where the foot had disappeared, his eyes glazing over in a daze.
